The Andrea and Ruth Show returns for the latest installment of the New Features update for the past year’s Evergreen ILS releases.
Standing Requirements: The Explicit and Implicit Expectations of Evergreen
The basic requirements of Evergreen as a piece of software can be succinctly described as help libraries maintain an inventory of resources that patrons can use to search and request those resources. The ramifications of that requirement include support for various workflows, but there are also a number of additional requirements.
During this presentation, Galen Charlton will discuss the full panoply of Evergreen’s standing requirements, including ones that are implicit or obscure. Accessibility, UX design, and internationalization all figure here as well as concerns specific to particular contributor communities within the project.
Attendees will leave the presentation with an understanding of the project’s standing requirements and a call to action to make the implicit explicit and managed.
